One of the ways Canadian Blood Services contributes to global advancements in transfusion medicine is through active involvement in the BEST Collaborative; an international organization whose studies help shape clinical practice.

Canadian Blood Services senior research scientist, Dr. Jason Acker, has recently been recognized with a King Charles III Coronation Medal for his contributions to science, technology and innovation. Learn more about the award and Dr. Acker’s research in this blog!
